That’s a perfect way to put it. I remember starting college and being really excited about the cloud, having my stuff accessible anywhere, changes automatically saved, etc etc. but now I don’t want any of my shit anywhere near their servers, it’s mine and mine alone and I’ll manage it myself and buffer against losses the best I can. I’d rather have myself fuck up and break a hard drive rather than let microsoft or apple wipe my stuff over a bug or because I didn’t pay them enough. Horrible, misleading bullshit.

why does everyone have to have “excellent” skills? just logically not everyone can have excellent skills, or there wouldn’t be excellent skills. i very much doubt everyone currently working there also has equally “excellent” skills. you can’t just say you have to be perfect. i fucking hate this shit

it seemed truly cozy and community-based for the first decade or so. you could buy gold to directly pay for servers and that was it, no greedy monetization or shittification. then awards came out with the same transparency, and it was fun to reward people for good posts (i gave gold partially to bookmark excellent comments for myself, as well). then spez got into coke (probably, i dunno, or hit his head very hard on something) and we have modern day reddit, a trash heap. i like how they deleted all the old awards and gold records, pure spit in the face to anyone that still believed in anything they were doing.

“superior attitude” is an obnoxious way to describe someone rebelling against shitty rules because they have standards. “you’re not special” etc is the usual bullshit I get – and of course I am not – what I think we rightfully think is that nobody should be beholden to shitty practices and standards.

so why can’t anybody do anything? why does he still get to wear the robe and have such a say in the world? maybe the good guys should start breaking rules as well to get things done since the right has already established that precedent. they’re not gonna just start playing nice because the democrats are.

lmao copyright isn’t important

if copyright were abolished worldwide today, we’d be in a happier place. people who buy things generally want to buy from the official source anyway, those official sources might even have to cut prices or (god forbid!) have to make their services better to compete in the market

is cyber’stalking’ even illegal? there’s something incredibly harmless about scrolling thru someone’s instagram that showing up outside their house repeatedly doesn’t seem to compare with

i mean, him trying to lose means, i assume, he’ll be even more rambunctious and off the cuff, meaning in public opinion it’ll be a resounding win

maybe stop tracking people’s minute movements you fucking absolute creeps

all we know about ourselves is what’s in our memories. the way normal writing or talking works is just picking what words sound best in order

like getting sick and living in america makes you unworthy?

employees spend an equal amount of time working (76% of a 9-to-5 shift).

that seems high. 6 hrs of pure work every day isn’t even sustainable

Some company heads are psychopaths, popular deep-seated belief confirms

even for free they still shouldn’t have that fucking thing. the implicit message of that hulking monstrosity is that it’s there to terrorize citizens. that’s what it was designed for

lmao it’s unempathetic to say people should be able to say goodbye to loved ones. covid was spreading everywhere anyway! if that hugely meaningful interaction didn’t get them infected, work or school or the gas station or a hotel or a restaurant would the next day anyway.

to be fair the pandemic handling did fucking suck and ruin lives. there were stories about how people couldn’t say goodbye to dying relatives because of “distancing rules” (which the Washington Post confirmed were basically picked out of thin air, obviously) which is just blatantly inhumane and obviously careless. you’re not building public trust or respect with rules like that. i’d happily get covid if i could say goodbye to my mom before she dies, fuck you.

why are lobbyists allowed i mean come on
